can be simplified as

case "$host" in
  *-linux*)
    AC_DEFINE(PLATFORM_LINUX, 1, [Define if you are compiling for  
Linux])
    ;;
  *-hpux*)
    AC_DEFINE(PLATFORM_HPUX, 1, [Define if you are compiling for HP/ 
UX])
    ;;
  *-solaris*)
    AC_DEFINE(PLATFORM_SOLARIS, 1, [Define if you are compiling for  
Solaris])
    ;;
  *-freebsd* | *-bsdi* | *-netbsd* | *-openbsd*)
    AC_DEFINE(PLATFORM_BSD, 1, [Define if you are compiling for *BSD])
    ;;
  *)
    AC_DEFINE(PLATFORM_UNKNOWN, 1, [Define if you are compiling for  
an unknown system])
    ;;
esac

but you're also missing other flavors of BSD (I think DragonFly BSD  
is also quite popular), I'd be tempted to throw a *-*bsd*) in there :D
Actually when I end up doing this, I usually check the config.guess /  
config.sub files installed by automake.

Cheers,
